Journals readers to overlook the reports of
the Horticultural Association meetings, they
are hereby informed that they have missed
some very good reading and some useful
information. The fact that some of the
speakers of the occasion theoretical
rather than practical farmers and fruit
growers, does not initiate against the value

BLAINE VERSUS CLEVELAND.

Mr. Blaines comments on the Presidents
message go before the country almost simulta-
neous with the message itself, and will be quite
as widely read. They are emnently character
istic. Mr.. Blaine is unquestionably one of
the ablest of our public men, pos
sessing a wonderfully alert and active
mind, thoroughly equipped with facts
and arguments in every department of
public affairs. He is, withal, an American Of
Americans, a thorough believer in American
ideas. and an able champion of the Republican
policy of protection to American industry.
To his strong convictions on these points he
adds rare faculty of putting things
Bringing these qualities to bear on the Presi-
dents message, he exposes its fallacies with
merciless logic and riddles it fore and aft with
fresof mingled logic and satire. argument
and ridicule. Mr.. Blaine commenting on
Grover Cleveland's message is like modern
war steamer. thoroughly armed and equipped
with perfect motive power and the most
deadly armament, steaming around the old
fashioned, numbering wooden hulk, and pour
of the compass. The Presidents message
reads like a string of free-trade platitudes
culled from cyclopedias, textbooks and Cob
den Club pamphlets Mr.. Baine's comments
come fresh and hot from the prolific and
forgetive brain of man who creates instead
of borrowing ideas and who, instead of re-
peating what others have said, SAYS things
for others to repeat. In an argument of this
kind Mr.. Blaine ''wipes the earth" with
Grover Cleveland. He shows clearly not only
the absurdity but the viciousness of Mr..
Cleveland's free trade scheme. He shows
that the abolition of protective duties would
demoralze and imperil the whole system of
American industry without bringing any
then, make no reduction of the national rev.
enue7 Let him answer for himself. He SAYS
II would reduce it by prompt repeal of the
tobacco tax, and would make, here and there
some changes in the tariff, not to reduce pro-
lection, but to wisely foster it." Above all,
he would hold to the central idea of protecting
and developing American industries He
would amend the tariff to meet the changing
conditions of trade, but he says, Il would
make no change that should impair the pro-
tective character of the whole body of the
tariff laws" This is the American idea, the
Republican idea, and true craftsmanship It
was hardly to be expected that Mr.. Blaine
could read the Presidents free trade platitudes
and fallacies without saying something in
reply, and he has done it in clear and vigorous
fashion.

and binding of books-an amount hardly sui
fcient to maintain reputable school library.
Unquestionably the State should place IN the
library the more valuable and rarer standard
works on all industrial topics, SO that they
can be consulted by those who desire tech
nical information. The only reason why
they are not there is that the people have not
demanded them. If they will demand them.
and hold legislators responsible who fail to
provide for them, they need not wait long for
the books. If others will show some of the
spirit manifested by the Horticultural Soci-
ETY., legislators will begin to understand that
they are elected for something more than to
squabble about petty offices, and force special
sessions for the sake of the beggarly per diem.

GOVERNOR GRAY,s RALLY.

The Hendricks Club has issued call for a
Democratic '.grand rally" to be held in this
city on the 18th of January next, that being
the date of the meeting of the State Central
committee. The object of the meeting is to
perfect plans for early organization, fire the
Democratic heart, and otherwise prepare for
next years campaign. The call is addressed
to Democ rats in general, and particularly
the young Democracy" This means that the
meeting is in the interests of Governor Gray
The Sentinel says ''the young Democracy
are expected to take prominent part in the
organization movement, and after the meet
ing the delegates will be thoroughly equipped
for the work of organization" Read between
the lines, this means movement in the inter-
ests of Governor Gray and his vice-presi-

racy" of Indiana. Just why he should be we

young Democrat himself-not particularly
young in years, but in Democracy. At all
events he has been assiduously cultivating this
element of the Democratic party. and
seems to have gotten pretty good hold on
them. The present call for the young Democ-
racy is notice to Mcdonald, Voorhees, and
other old leaders that Governor Gray proposes
to march at the head of the procession, and
that he and the young Democracy propose to
assume control. This is the meaning of the
A. tof
rest the Republicans of Indiana will do well
to heed this movement as the beginning of an
early organization and vigorous campaign by
the Democracy. They know they have big
fight and hard one before them in this State,
and they propose to make timely preparations.
This is all right. We have no objections to
anything they may do in the way of legiti-
mate organization and work. If they will
only refrain from ballot box stuffing tally
sheet forgeries and other frauds, tina! is all the
Republicans ask. We would like to have a
fair apportionment of the State for legislative
purposes, but that is impossible at present
We do not expect the Democracy to be fair;
we only ask them not to be dishonest. On
its face, the 18th of January meeting is
legitimate movement in the direction of
arousing and organizing the party for next
year. Republicans must not be caught nap

begin work in January the Republicans must
not defer longer. 1t will soon be time to beat

THE report of the Secretary of the Treasury
has fallen absolutely fat. It has excited no
interest whatever. The country has not cared
a continental what Mr.. Fairchild proposes to
do, or to know really what he has done. The
fact is conclusive against the Presidents
assertion of the alarming and perilous con-
dition of business, and the excited feeling of
the people. If anything of the kind was the
case, there would be feverish anxiety to
know the course and policy of the Secretary
of the Treasury. AS it is, business is quiet,
the people are calm, and Mr.. Fairchild's report
has dropped into Congress with dull thud.

formulate a tariff message which would
fulfill the standards of bis message; if
he could show : how to reduce du-
ties without either destroying the profits of the
manufacturer or lowering the wages of the
laborer; if he can keep mp the rewards Of pro-
duction in certain departments and yet lower the
cost of the products to consumers; if he can take
the duty off articles which not produced at
home and yet keep it on articles of luxury ex-
ported from abroad he will be able to command
the undivided support of the whole Nation with
